Should I leave the decals or not?

I vote remove or replace them. Did you have those made?

[liljohn]

Can you say NAKED!

[-BS-]

I voted to change them. I'd go with a darker color, like that blue that's on the speakers. I like the tower color. Is that an 08VLX? I thought that came with the frameless windshield. Or is that an option? Anyway, post pics if you change 'em.

bs001, that was only the vtx and 23lsv in 08, the vlx got it in 09.

Definitely take the chrome off man..

I like the boat in picture #1, but then I looked at picture #2. Take them off go naked. It will feel good in the wind.

I think replace them for sure... Maybe you could get the 2010 decals?

[shade]

Naked for sure! The only thing that makes a nice boat look cheaper than a bunch of cheap decals is BIG cheap decals. I had the dealer take the Wakesetter decals off my boat before I took delivery of it. I get lots of comments on having a classy looking boat. If your goal is to have the frat boy, "look at me" look then I would get some replacement decals.

My new boat was ordered without any graphics

[Faceplant409]

Pull em off...

[mellen_mpz]

that boat is too purdy to have decals......Off with em'

Nice lookin boat!

[JBuck]

Naked!! I think I'm pulling mine off this winter

[UberXY]

If my Malibu would have had decals on it when I first looked at it, I probably would not have bought it. I vote for leave-them-off.

we pulled ours off and have never looked back. we have had many complements from other bu owners with decals.

[Winz]

Clean is the way to go!

[martinarcher]

Agreed with others.......NAKED! Those are some nice looking bare Wakesetters now that the graphics are gone. If you put something else on, make up something cool that is yours.

Just for s***s and giggles could you Photoshop the wakesetter decal on there in the same color blue that's on on your boat? Never seen a bu with that and would be curious to see what it looks like. But out of your two pics, take em off!

[OTN]

Naked is the way to go as far as I'm concerned- sleeker, classier look.

Here is the boat with the factory decals on it

Depends on the boat color for me. Many do look killer naked and think I like that trend. But then I see some boats where it looks like something is missing.

Also seen some recent boats with custom graphics looking pretty aggressive as well. The new stock graphics never really were my favorite though.

[JBuck]

How hard is it to get the older replacement decals?? In rivrat's case being a 2008 I don't see it being a problem getting those graphics re-created if he decided after a while of being "naked" that he wanted them.

But in a case like mine where my VLX is an 04 with the tribal graphics and I yank them off and don't like the look, am I up the creek or going to pay a bunch for replacements?

Sorry if there is already a thread on this...

Bakes might have the graphics:

I am thinking about creating some custom graphics for mine, something along the lines of Ed Hardy (retro tattoo look) or Affliction (skulls), etc. to freshen it up.

For those that have pulled off their decals is there a noticeable color change from sun fade where they were on a boat 5-10 years old?

I like this way better than the chrome or no logos. Don't know why....

My 07 Vride had no logos, my 09 has the logos. I think it depends on the boat. (Although some have told me I'd be better off with no decals on my 09 )

I voted to remove them. My 04 the decals are starting to look ratty, was gonna replace them, then I saw the naked look, with just the chrome Malibu raised decals near the back, think I am going to go for that look.
